The academy never "closed". It became a centre of excellence, which is essentially a step down from the academies. Don't doubt Gallen put a lot of effort into setting up the academy, but essentially an academy is not judged on results in their football matches. It's judged on how many first team...

If there is "sod all talent" then what's the point in having an academy? Of course he stuck it out, any other club would have got rid of him ages ago! I personally couldn't care less if Gallen is there or not, all he seemed to do was put the cones out for the warm up. He certainly hasn't...

I'm with SB on the whole Steve Gallen situation. Yes, he has stuck through the club for the past 18 years, and our youth system has been nothing short of abysmal in that period. As far as i'm concerned, the youth system is a massive problem at the moment, so if the coaching isn't working then...

Let's have it right..Furlong is not good enough to be a Championship player. The way you have to look at it, is players like Will Hughes at Derby. He broke into the first team at 17, starting game and playing every week. If our players aren't doing that at 17, the chances are they won't be doing...

Again, agree. I actually think the best we have played all season was the 2-2 against Brighton, under JFH. Personally, this January I'd like to be rid of Sandro, Fer, Phillips and Austin for money. I'd like to see Green and Henry never play again, Konch returned to Leicester and Doughty to just...

I could not agree more with that last sentence Frome. Yes it was excellent to see NW taking control for a few games, his enthusiasm was highly infectious. However, as many have said, he was never the long term solution so we all need to move on and put him in the friend zone. This is a big...

If I'm Alex Smithies and I'm not in goal for the rest of the month/season, i'd be looking for a move. I've seen elephants with quicker foot work than Green.

Ted what is the fascination with Brentford? They are only 3 points ahead of us. That is 1 win. I have to say I wholeheartedly agree with everything Watford has said. But then again, I'm only 23 so I suppose I don't understand life is all about management :emoticon-0102-bigsm

I must say yesterday was the first time I have enjoyed a QPR game for some time. The key for me, was the speed that we were moving the ball around the edge of the box. Typically, we slow the game right down in them situations, but under JFH we have a spring in our step. Now is the time to drop...

Why would it have been a 1-0 win under Warnock? I fail to see how that is a pre-requisite?

The job of a full back is primarily to defend. I hardly think the shots coming to nothing are because the full backs aren't attacking; I think it's because we had a lack of movement up front, which changed yesterday and we looked excellent.

The one thing he is not is a centre back. From his days back at Reading and Aldershot up to u16, he was a winger. I would know, I played against him. When he shot up and filled out at Marlow he was turned into a centre midfielder and that's where he was picked up. He played as a centre mid or...

Completely agree, although I'm much happier and enthused by the fact that the contrasting styles are that of successful managers rather than your Chris Powell's and Tim Sherwood's.

Damage I agree with the point that his successes are very much based on defence first, and then goals, which as you correctly said it improving results but the football may not be so great. However, the thing that may excite JFH, and possible play into his hands is if he can sort out our defence...

For everyone who is saying Hasselbaink was taking over a Gary Rowett team; when he took over there were 5th in League 2 and had lost 5 games out of 16. By the end of the season, they finished top with only losing 8 out of 46. So for me, yes Gary Rowett was doing well at Burton, but JFH has done...

To me, I think this is a good thing. Appointing someone who has come from a well run club, inherited a good team and progressed them and is ambitious can only be a positive thing. Every manager has a "risk" associated with them that it might not work out, but for me, giving an up and coming...

Neither Austin or Green should be in the England squad. It's laughable that anyone is even considering Green, he's had a woeful start to the season. The keeper who can feel hard done by, is one Alex McCarthy who has been superb for Palace at the start of the season. Perhaps Vardy shouldn't be in...

If Alex Smithies signs, he HAS to be number 1. Far better than Green; he's bigger, more mobile and can actually move.

Also missing the huge key point that Austin cannot play as a lone striker.
